Fri.-Sabbath, 1/10-12/20 Devotion

Wahoo—Sunday is ALMOST here! In order to help us prepare for our Sab-bath worship of the Triune God on the Lord's Day, here is Thomas Watson, from his book, "A Body of Divinity":

"Go to Christ's blood for peace. Some seek to find their peace in their own righteousness, not Christ's. They seek peace in their holy life, not Christ's death. When conscience is troubled, they strive to quiet it with their duties. This is not the right way to find peace. Duties must not be neglected, nor yet idolized.

"Let us look to Jesus' blood of sprinkling, (Heb. 12:24). That blood of Christ which pacified God, also pacifies our conscience. When we take in Christ’s blood by faith, He gives us peace. 'Being justified by faith, we have peace with God,' (Rom. 5:1). There is no balm [or medicine] to cure a wounded con-science, other than the blood of Christ."
